I write this with a heavy heart.  When we were young, Alexis was Lexi and I was Lynnie. A miracle is a life long friend...As you can imagine, the stories are all larger than life.  Alexis was the most courageous and passionate friend as you all know.  Maybe you can all agree that if you become her dear friend, you are celebrated.  One of my last memories is in church with Alexis.  We sat in the front row of a pentacostal church in Woodland Hills.  I was celebrated by her many selfies of us, along with whispers and giggles.  I remember saying.. We better be quiet..the pastor is getting annoyed.  That made us laugh even harder. We became crazy kids again.  I can still see her huge smile and hear her adorable laughter.  I began to get annoyed by the never ending selfies.  My annoyance made her laugh even harder.  That’s our beautiful childlike Alexis.

One of my first memories was camping with the Vogel’s in the family camper. It was Leo Carrillo beach and we were so young.  Lexi and I put on our bikinis every morning with the goal of turning golden brown.  One morning she led me to the life guard station.  She told me that the cute life guard would pay attention to us if we took off our tops.. I really don’t remember anything that became of that story.  More laughter and back to the camper for the greatest food.  Audrey was the sweetest and most beautiful mom.  She was always there to offer food or a compliment.  She was the Angel mom. How could a mom be that kind and that beautiful? Camping with the Vogel’s was most definitely this side of heaven.  I have so many stories.  I may write more when I stop crying.  I do feel very strongly that our sweet Alexis is an Angel now and she is being hugged by God.. Thank you Alexis for Celebrating your friends.  You did a wonderful job doing that.  Love is Forever..Lynnie

ALEXIS is gone and she leaves a big hole in our lives and in our heart.She was a big girl in every ways, a huge romantic with a big heart and lots of talent. Life wasn’t  boring with her and I have lots of memories of fun time ,even if it was working , as we were working together at “Play boy “, I was doing the clothes styling and it was pretty stressing , with long days ,but we always end up having a great time .Make up and hair was her life , and she was a beauty Pro , She had a sens for directing and always had great ideas and was the queen of improvising on the set , gave directions to all the photographers , not a dull moments , they couldn't help listening to her , she spent a lot of time with the girls and got to be close to all of them, in a world considered Superficial, she was very “spiritual “ and very curious of people , always asking about their life and aspirations, not the Hollywood , fashion victim BS you would expect to encounter. 

She taught me a lot in how to deal with the “stars” as she had a very long experience and was a natural diva in her own way ,but always cool and focus , she was the queen of Glamour!

We didn’t see each other after The Play boy area , but eventually reconnected , start seeing each other just for fun , she leaves our lives way to early , with lots of projects unfinished, but her fight against this horrible illness is over and she is at peace now 

I met Lexi when we were 15 and in school together. We were both red heads, but hers was real. She was a force and we always laughed until we almost peed our pants. I had hoped she would marry my brother because she already felt like a sister. She was brilliant and magical with a childlike curiosity and playfulness with an artists eye. We never had an argument or bad time together, even in bad times. If she was there, it was a party. I don't think she knew how gorgeous she was. She had a tiny waist and a tummy that was literally flat as a board, and thick hair that almost reached her cute bubble butt. And don't get me started on those cat green eyes!

When I thought of opening my own hair salon when I was only 25 she told me to go for it absolutely with no hesitation. I am still at the same location 36 years later. She also gave wonderful decorating advice. She gave me the right encouragement at the right time.

She recently came over to my house and whipped it into a beautiful decorator place in one visit and mini shopping spree. She said throw that out, move that there, oh put that beautiful vase there, give that away, etc. Spruce up this bathroom..... bring that rose painting you did over here, grab those towels with roses and lets buy some coral  tea towels and pale blush bath towel and matching rug. oh how yummy, see, see? And I did and I love the house so much with every touch she gave. She also helped me set up a beautiful table scape for every holiday. 

We could talk and text about everything and anything. One time we wanted to trim our bikini lines into a heart. I did mine into an ok heart but hers looked like Micky Mouse and we laughed so hard that we had tears.

For my sixtieth birthday I had a sixties party and wanted to be Barbie. I'll be damned if she didn't make my face exactly Barbie down to the perfect blue shadow and layers of thick long lashes and her amazing makeup lasted forever. She even gave me a pouty pink lip. 

We would spend time during the holidays together. Sometimes riding around candy cane lane singing carols, and lately having a Chinese food lunch on Christmas day with friends sharing all the different dishes.

We always called each other sister and said how much we loved and appreciated each other.

I have to stop now because I can't stop crying.
